Realizing Reality

Sometimes you don't realize how much you love people until they're gone.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you appreciate someone until you don't see them anymore.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you care about someone until you can't talk to them anymore.


Sometimes you don't realize how close you are to someone until they get busy and aren't around as much.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you still care about someone until they re-enter your life.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you like your job until it's over.


Sometimes you don't realize how near the end/beginning is until you count the days.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you like someone until they break your heart.


Sometimes you don't realize how cautious you're being until someone slips right through your fingers.


Sometimes you don't realize how carefree you're being until you get hurt.


Sometimes you don't realize how much someone affects you until their influence is gone.


Sometimes you don't realize you're being irrational until reality slaps you in the face.


Sometimes you think you can handle more until you get hit with the unexpected.


Sometimes, you don't realize things about life and the people in it until after it's over.  And no matter how hard you try, or how reasonable you think you're being, you just can't realize some things until after the fact.  And that's just part of life and the growing up process.

Fortune Cookies can be profound..

So I was at work last night, at KBYU, and they fed us dinner. Sweet, free food! As a college kid with almost no money to my name, I'll gladly eat food that someone not only pays for, but pays me to eat! I've learned to like a lot of foods this way... I never used to enjoy Chinese food, but now I do. And last night, our food came from Panda Express. Seeing as I've never eaten authentic Chinese food from China, I don't know how "real" this food is, but it's pretty delicious. But that is not the point. The point is, half the fun of eating Chinese food is to read and laugh at the fortune inside the fortune cookie! Especially from Panda Express, where the fortunes are usually pretty lame, silly, or in fact MISfortunes! As I cracked my cookie open last night, my heart was pounding with anticipation... what would I get? Would it change my LIFE?!!? Okay, so I was just curious, and my heart wasn't pounding. :) I read the little slip of paper, and g...

Eu Amo Meloncia!

(NOTE:  Received on 3/30/2010) Hello family! Well, this week I did something different.  I kept a list in my agenda of things to write to y'all about, instead of just writing one on the bus on the way back from the Temple, and it is LONG!  But most of the things are just things to mention, not really to talk about.  So let me start with that! Choir last Tuesday was awesome...I played the piano of course, and the choir sang "Scripture Power".  Remember in primary when we would lift our scriptures up during the chorus?  Yeah, guess what 100 missionaries did during choir!  It was hilarious and so awesome.  We have so much fun here! Soccer here is intense.  Our teacher, Irmão Mendes, has the radio on his cell phone.  One day in class, he pulled it out, turned it on, and we listened for a few seconds to a soccer game.  Long enough to hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
